Topic: The Next Rebel? [CR1] (Read 18253 times)

Would it make sense for Canon to start a new "trifecta" of mirror-less cameras? Say.. the new EF-M as the entry level, this newly announce Rebel as the mid-level, and possibly a full frame mirror-less at the high end.

Do they really need another Rebel? They better had make the 70D something stellar...the lines are beginning to converge to closely.

Given the specs of the Rebel line are increasing, and the rumored specs for the 7D II are very good (mini-1DX anyone?), I suspect the 70D will reclaim the meaningful position the 50D held. The 7D I was really what started to blur the lines...and I think Canon is trying to reset the expectations of each line and reform the necessary divisions between them.

That definitely makes sense and would make the whole line up more compelling.
